All Saints' church, West Rasen

Grade I listed

The church dates as far back as the eleventh century, but certainly from Norman times onwards.
It is built in ironstone with ashlar dressings with slate and lead roofs.
There is a south porch, nave, chancel, south arcade, clerestory and two-stage thirteenth century tower.
The tower has a battlemented parapet with octagonal turrets at the corners added circa 1828.

The church at one time had a north aisle which was removed, and the arcades blocked. Traces of these are plainly visible with external roof corbels. The eastern arch once led to a transept which contained a Chantry Chapel, founded in 1373 for John Pouger, and dissolved in 1548.

The three bay south arcade is Early English with octagonal piers. A thirteenth century arch into a south transept was incorporated into the aisle.
The chancel arch is late thirteenth century. At one time there was also a Rood loft
The clerestory has four late fourteenth century windows with two lights. There are shields mounted externally which are said to come from a tomb chest.

Restoration work was carried out in 1830, and a plaque set above the south chancel door.

There are fragments of mediaeval stained glass in the south window. At one time there was much mediaeval stained glass in the church.

There is a plain octagonal fifteenth century font.

There is no organ.
